Default Mary J Blige and U2 remix of One

I absolutely love the remix. Anyone else heard it.

I don't like it. Bono's solo on the original is solid and sober (as in no over the top vocal acrobatics or "interesting" experiments). Especially for this song, One, less is more.

I like Mary's voice on this one, though I wish it was just her, she doesn't add anything to Bono's voice, and vice versa.

I like it, apart from the end where she does about three more warbles than necessary. Shut up, Mary, the song's over.

I absolutely LOVE it! The original is a great classic, but Mary brings it to a whole different level. I got to see U2 in Vegas in November and Mary J. Blige made a surprise appearance on One and it blew me away. That woman can sing. And you can tell how much Bono and the rest of U2 really respect and love what she's done with the song. Thumbs up for me!

I don't know. Mary J. Blige annoys the HELL out of me. So I don't really care for that song.

I prefer Bono's solo version, IMO, it's more emotive and solid
